Error peny or????

[Coppercrazy]

Ok so I came across a penny that has 2 backs, but one of the backs is indented in while the other one is normal. It is slightly thicker than a normal penny but my guess is someone was messing around and just flipped over a penny and stamped it into the obverse of another. But my questions are, how could someone create enough force to do this anyways pictures are below give me your opinions please!

I am not sure.But if that was done at the mint it could be a valuable error.

my guess is a magician's penny, but why would they make a magician's penny when they could make a magician's quarter/half/dollar?? \
good luck

This could possibly be an extremely rare error in which a cent is struck and sticks to the obverse die. Yours would be the next planchet that went into the die. If you could post some higher resolution pictures that would be great.

Looks like junk, I'll give you a quarter for it!

Yea buddy you might wanna get that checked out. Never seen anything like it so it can't be all that common.

I'm away at band camp for the week so I can't figure anything out about it. My mom is going to some coin shops to see what they say. And if I get some good news I'll send it in to ANACS or PCGS.

Yep, looks like an error coin. It is called a capped die, when a coin sticks to one of the dies and continues to strike other coins- Capped Die US Coin Mint Error Images Values

Get it graded

Ok went to the coin shop the guy said it is probably authentic and it is really rare. The man said even I it is authentic it's still only worth $40 because it is a penny and if it were older or a higher denomination it would be worth more, so I just think I'm going to keep it and maybe grade it just for myself.

coin dealers tend to "low ball" offers on coins... i would personally rather go to an expert on error coins rather then a coin dealer who just knows common knowlege on coins...
i think it's worth way more...
